I am Icarus as I yearn to fly,

I am Icarus as I sore through the sky,

I am Icarus as I want more and more,

I am Icarus and the sky, I Adore!



I am Icarus as I tend to forget

I am Icarus and later seem to regret

I am Icarus and greed gets the best of me

I am Icarus and only a fall can break me free



Even when I'm gone, my absence will hurt them,

Even when I'm gone, generational will be my name,

Even when I'm gone, I will leave a mark,

My wings burnt and withered- Illuminating yet Dark!



Reliant on aesthetics, I tend to forget nature,

I can't bypass it, Afterall- Human is my stature,

Such madness over crossing human bounds you might ask,

Penetrating limitations might be my greatest task.



Damnation and Mockery- my reward for such foolishness,

Satisfaction and Idolation- I yearn for completeness



My wings might be a commodity,

But my flight is a necessity,

You might forget or might you'll remember me

The leap I took and what completed me



I am Icarus and you might call me a fool,

I am Icarus or you might think my act was cool,

Well It doesn't matter to you, Does it?

In the end I'm just a fragment in you memories!

But for me and for generations to come,



I AM ICARUS!
Icarus was a minor Greek legend, The First man to take flight and fall as well! Many consider him a fool for not listening to his father and letting pride take control over him but for me Icarus has always been a legend! The Mighty Soarer above the sky that wanted to break human bounds and conquer the sky! Here's a tribute to Icarus and here's a Kudos for the Icarus within all us!
